AWESOME recommendations, luv....THANK YOU! I own ATH-M50's. Only thing I've done to them after many years was recently replace the pads with the Brainwavz leather jobbies. Very nice upgrade to the comfort. Much nicer on the ears. I run my HD650's out of a Ygg >> Woo WA7, but to be frank...

My apologies...a deal on a CLOSED BACK, wired, over the ear, easy to drive, fairly neutral and well built cans. The HD6XX's are hard to drive. I own 650's...love them but I have serious amps. I'll check out the purple hearts on MD now.... Thanks to GT, luvmusic, and RoMee! Thank you Deals...

Deals forum to the rescue.... Looking for a super comfortable for long listening sessions pair of wired, over the ear headphones that are easily driven by a phone / laptop and have good construction quality for a college student...male at that. Budget upper end is $250 and preferably below...

One heck of a deal, Luv. Thank you all the same! HS

Managed to quote you with no response...LOL Thanks, Luv. I went out there and it's telling me it is not available for store pickup or for shipping to my zip. GREAT offer but looks like I was late. HS

Looking for a deal on a wireless headphone for TV. Senn's took a poop. Maybe something that will help my bluetooth headphones work with my TV would be an option. Thanks. HS

Are we sticking to this thread for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals or are there any separate ones started? HS

Thank you, Raketen. HS

Deals thread, What is the best price you've seen on the Sony MDR-Z7. I saw the recent Massdrop deal and I've looked at camel. Thanks. HS

The replacement pads showed up. Delivery attempted Saturday, but apparently we were out. $63 delivered. HS

Thanks, but they're ordered. Done deal. I'll report back as to how it turns out for others' reference. HS

I've used FromJapan over the years with some success. I went ahead and ordered them through them. I'll post up how that goes once they arrive. A heck of a lot less expensive... HS

Thank you. Yes, I did that and best I found was $114/pair without shipping. I was hoping someone had located a more reasonably priced source. If an opportunity arises for purchasing via Japan I will take it, but my business no longer takes me or peers to Asia Pacific I'm afraid. HS

I have to admit I could not keep up with this thread so forgive what is likely a question that has been covered previously. I need a pair of replacement earpads as they are splitting at the seam on my son's Z7's that have gotten a lot of use of the last few years. Clearly not an inexpensive...

That looks like a GREAT deal.  They lost me at "analytical"...LOL.  Sorry :D   HS

That's very helpful, phthora...thank you.   EDIT:  So if my son mostly uses them out of his Mac Air and on occasion his iPhone, the 80 ohm is OK?  I was thinking the 32 16 ohm might be more practical.   HS

You guys are AWESOME...thank you!   So if I am buying one for my son that I'm fairly confident is inclined towards a V shape sound sig with the the bass boom of a closed back phone (hip hop type music), is the DT-770 the best bet of the Beyer's kindly listed above?   Really appreciate the...

Deals crew,   What is a good price for the Beyer DT-770 Pro 32 ohms?  Looks like it tickled $120 using camelcamelcamel but not sure if that was a fluke.   Thanks.   HS

    My comment still stands vs the e-stats I own, have owned, and have listened to.  These are altogether different.       @mrspeakers - I think that would serve you better...the use of a quiet room if it is an option.  It might limit the exposure to more customers, but whatever serves your...

  You're making the leap that because a headphone is open back is leaks as much as the next.  That is absolutely not the case with the headphones I have owned and own today.  Period.   Have you listened to these and been next to someone that has?   HS

  Interesting.  We all have our limitations and if it were best sound and no costs I think many would vote speakers.     Further, there's a middle ground.  My point being there is no middle here.  I think potential buyers should have line of sight to this and if it's a non-issue then great...

Word is it is shifting.  We can only hope the service improves and RPD proves to be more responsive.   HS

I listened to the L300 out of the 252S and out of my KGSSHV Carbon.  They are not my flavor and not even close to the 007MK2's IMO.  I listened to a pair of 404 Sig's out of an SRM-006t with the only upgrade being tubes and I was far more impressed with them than the L300's.   Different...

  I only own the SR-007 Mk2's and the SR-003's.  The 007's leak since they're open back, just like my other open backs, but the Mr. Speakers where altogether different.  Like a wide open projector.  Has that changed?  If they leak only like the Stax then they've improved A LOT since I tested...
